Types of Smart Locks

Do Smart Locks Impact Home Insurance?

The implications on insurance may include:

  • Certain policies may offer discounts on premiums for homeowners who have installed a security measure, like a smart lock. This is because a smart lock adds a layer of security.
  • Smart locks can help should you need to defend against a liability claim. For example, if you use smart locks to allow access to contractors, it shows reasonable caution and may limit liability in case of an incident.
